6 Installation instructions

1Establish the desired height of the rangehood above the benchtop according to the ‘Installation height requirements’ above. Measure this distance from the top of the benchtop and, using a spirit level, draw a light horizontal line on the wall. Make sure that the line can easily be erased or will be hidden after installation. This is where the bottom of the rangehood will sit (Fig.2).

2Mark the position of the rangehood on the wall. Using a spirit level, also mark a vertical line intersecting the horizontal line, (ensuring that the line can easily be erased or will be hidden after installation) showing the position where the centre of the rangehood will be. This is normally over the centre of the cooktop (Fig.3).

3Remove the grease filters (this is to make installation easier). Press inward on the catch, found on the handle, and pull the filter downward (Fig.4).

4Determine location of the fixing “keyholes” on the wall. The hood is secured to the wall by two “keyholes” located above the motor behind the air exit opening. From the point where the horizontal and vertical lines drawn earlier intercept, use a spirit level and pencil and draw another horizontal line 290mm above the first horizontal line (ensuring that the line can easily be erased or the line will be hidden after installation) as shown in Fig.5. This now indicates where the top of the “fixing keyholes” are.

Where the vertical line meets the top horizontal line (just drawn), measure and mark both sides of the vertical line, showing where to drill.
